AS the title says. Been thinking of taking my Type 64 crew and throwing them into the TD line for fun and profit. But while some of the mid tiers look good (and the T8 prem looks fantastic) the higher tier tanks seem...meh.

Curious if anyone has played enough to start forming opinions on the mid or higher tiers.

I feel that these tanks are 'unfairly' bashed for being turretless tds when in fact they really are rather suited for the current (cancerous) matter. True, you are better off playing an actual tank like the 5A, but among the TDs these are actually pretty good with their combination of good soft stats, casemate armour, wide gun arc and workable mobility.

Having played the Tier 10 on the test server, I can say that it seems extremely relaxing to play: poke every 13 seconds and hope the opposition is too cheap to fire HEAT. Certainly not bad my any measure.

"We want to make armor relevant again. Therefore we're introducing a tier 9 tank with 395 HEAT pen. Also, tier 6's will now have to face a tank with 271 base pen. Also we're nerfing the pen on the ISU-152, because that shit was broken and you've already given us your money to free XP that thing."

Seriously tho, the tier 8 looks like cancer to play against.

Dunno never looked stats, but seen so many FGT TDs i never worried about destroying them. Occasionally someone pops out but they managed bounce zero shots.

Tier8 one is actually rather good. 6 was okay, 7 was okay, 8 is definitely above okay. I cant quite understand how the armor works but it does. RHM, IS3 and even grille AP rounds do bounce. RHM ones do so with alarming reliability also. Lower plate is trash ofc but everything else is workable. I hate to admit it but I really enjoy it.

Edit: Forgot to clarify that if you are top tier, then choose a corridor and 3xr. Its like ISU without the old alpha but with armor.

Options

That warm, fuzzy feeling when you're sidescraping so well the three enemy tanks you are engaging resort to shooting HE with low caliber weapons. And then the feeling when a "friendly" TD blats you in the back from the redline, causing you to get killed.
